panel_start Overview panel_end

As businesses grow and expand, there is an inherent need to assess whether they are creating value for the shareholders. Although businesses may have achieved growth and a reasonable return on investment, creating value is the result of a sustainable process of value creation. This programme is designed to cover the concept of value creation and the determinants of value of a business.

The course provides practical insights into the value creation dynamics and its application in running a business. The module concludes with demonstrating the linkages between business strategies and sustainable value creation, through a real life case study.

While there are procedures and formulas, they need to be integrated with good business judgments.
